Interesting in article.

 

I suppose that means that transform plate boundaries (as well as divergent
and convergent) are everywhere? Because megaquakes occur in one or all of
these areas and not just anywhere, right? 

 

For instance, I moved from the bay area to the Elk Grove area which is about
ten miles from Sacramento, California. I don't know of any mapped faults
that run through Sacramento. I know of many that are lying under the
surrounding mountains in addition to some blind faults but it seems that I
am a bit removed from any direct blow of an earthquake.
